No govt change, focus on rakyat, 175 Muslim NGOs plead in memo to King

PETALING JAYA: Another memorandum has been submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this morning, this time from some 175 Muslim NGOs who pleaded with the King to intervene in the ongoing political turmoil.

Under the umbrella of Gerakan Pembela Ummah (Ummah), they appealed for the King and the Malay rulers to issue a decree for political leaders to prioritise the lives of Malaysians amid the worsening pandemic.

Ummah urged the King to put an end to the quarreling between politicians, adding that they were concerned that no party would have the majority to form a new government should the current one fall.

“Unfortunately, political leaders prioritise their own egos and their parties’ and groups’ interests, not the welfare of the people,” it said in the memorandum.

“They do not use Parliament as a place to reach a consensus to war against the mutual enemy, instead destroying our democracy by abusing it for their own interests.
